I'm feeling worthless and broken.

Repeat after me: Feeling doesn't equal reality. Yeah, the feeling itself is real, and probably quite annoying too; but keep in mind that your feelings will run away with you and trick you like nobody's business if you don't watch out.

You're worth plenty--I know this because I know you're a human being, unless our cats have finally learned to type. As for "broken", yeah, you've probably got a few dents. But who hasn't? It's the dents, duct tape, and jury-rigged repairs that give you character.

I can't help but get the feeling that you're a failure at meeting other people's expectations. That probably goes for the majority of people here. I'm betting that there are things you are good at but they aren't valued by those you know. Somehow you have to find a way to take advantage of your strengths and make a life no matter what other people think of the way you're doing it. The hardest part may be to ignore what others think of your way.

I went through a period in my 20's where my family didn't understand my strengths largely because they were pretty esoteric and largely hidden from plain view. It hurt. But I managed to make them work for me. I don't think they understand even today but my life works for me and they accept that.

she hasn't gone to the link I posted did she?

Sweety, it's something I recently posted about something I went thru 10 years ago...pretty much the same thing you're talking about here. It's why I posted it; thought it might offer you some inspiration.

I've been away from the computer. I fully intend to read it when I have finished cleaning the kitchen.

I guess the timing couldn't possibly be better; I hope you'll find it very inspirational, and if you have any questions, I'm more than happy to answer them

For those who think your worthless, you're wrong.

For those who think you have bad luck, you can change it. (First step is to stop thinking you have bad luck).

I got into positive thinking this past March. I was 30 years old.

For the first time in my life, I became truly happy.


I discovered that emotions/thoughts are like snowballs rolling down a mountain.

I always thought I had bad luck. Bad things always happened to me. And I was a negative person. Always attacking problems.


Then this past March, I decided to give this a try. It changed my life in so many ways. It changed my luck.
